About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to survive myself. and eternal life (so far i.m well with both)
and as it turned out, to occupy the whole Scandinavia (until this point, I.ve lived in 3 Nordic countries(Y) )

ABOUT ME

i.m from Hungary, and after some bypasses I.m settled now in Bergen, Norway. working as an architect. i have been living some periods in Denmark, Spain and Sweden as well, outside of the numerous travels I.ve made in Europe. and of course it.s never enough, i really wish to put my boots to many places before i put them to the coffin :)

i definitely love to get the 'architecture' not only of buildings but everything. places, thoughts, views, emotions, meetings... :)

PHILOSOPHY

i guess jus check my photos, might give a glimpse of my world view:

i.m usually the monkey who just listens

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i like sharing my stories with others. probably you will enjoy them. probably not. probably i.ll notice this. probably i.ll stop then

i like skipping the research part of the places before the visit and just letting myself go with my instincts to find the good spots. of course it.s leading to miss some good stuffs, but this far i have rarely ever had the feeling of missing something.
on the other hand, if i guide somebody, i.m trying to show them everything i know, i can make very dense schedule actually. it.s a kinda challange for me to transfer my visitors those impressions i got, from people, from the environment, from life...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i only have good experiences of crushing at a stranger. all of them were so cool people, it.s good to see that the world, despite it.s greatness, can be really small as well, when you realize your mates motivation and attitude for life.
i got positive feedbacks from my hostings as well, i managed to host different people from Lapland to Singapore...

i.m changing my places quiet often, but can.t wait for establishing a more permanent and own one in order to pay back this kindness I have received before.

What I Can Share with Hosts

unfortunately i.m not the guy with amazing everyday skills, i can come with some stories or make some simple food, helping with odds and ends...
showing respect towards the host is elementary for me, including to leave the place exactly in the state i got it. or better, but who am i to judge? :D
